Here are my comments on the additional changes we will discuss later today that Greg made to Section 2 and ALERT Block beyond what we discussed in last week’s meeting. (see document link at bottom of email below for his changed document)
Section 2 language was changed. I think the two references to “CAPv1.2” that were eliminated need to stay in. I actually liked the former wording better.
In Section 2, what is the “Reference Standard in Section 1”?
Greg’s question: Need to decide on terms Element, Block, or Segment. [I usually use Block for the ALERT, INFO, RESOURCE, and AREA, and Element for anything under those levels. However, CAPv1.2 in its tables uses the terms “alert Element and Sub-elements”, and in its aggregated table 3.1 showing everything, it uses the term “element” to describe all the elements and sub-elements. I would vote that we use the term “element” to refer to all elements in the CAP-AU Profile.]
In ‘sender’ element, it says if ‘sender’ value gets changed by an aggregator, “the original message ‘identifier’ is to be added to the ‘incidents’ block”. Do you really want to do that? This is not in keeping with the example back in the ‘incidents’ element which shows a value representing a logical incident name. Can/should a previous message ‘identifier’ coexist with the normal use of the ’incident’ element?
Greg’s question: Should all the Examples be moved to an Appendix?
The ‘addresses’ element no longer appears separately in the Profile, so it is presumed it now follows CAPv1.2 as written.
There is a lot of other added content, but it all looks ok to me, but others should take a look as well.
